I have great memories of spending time with Aunt Estella at the farm while playing with Nancy and Steve. She was always fun to be around. I will miss seeing her when I am in Newton.

I didn't see her often but when I did she would always hug me and ask how things were going with me and my family. She was a link for us to our Grandma Betty. She would share stories with Jen and that really meant a great deal to us, as we didn't get the opportunity to know her. We were lucky to have had her as a part of our extended family. Not too mention that she helped give us Todd and the kids. Todd is a such a great parent and friend. I believe he has followed Estella's lead.

We are all broken hearted. Getting to spend time with Auntie Estella and Uncle Francis last year was such a joy. We had so much in common. I will miss her terribly, but will always treasure the little time we had to get to know each other. Big hug for Unclie.

I am sorry to hear of Estella's passing. I always enjoyed working with her at PCA. She was kind and generous and I always remember she was the first person to bake something and take it to families who had lost a loved one. She was very funny and liked to laugh. My condolences to you all.

To Francis and family - I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I knew Estella through her close friendship with my parents, Dorothy and Alan Anspach. She was a beautiful, kind and gracious lady. My daughter still treasures a sweet, praying lamb toy that Estella gave her shortly after Riley was born 7 years ago. May your wonderful memories give you comfort in your sorrow. God bless - Kevin and Kelly Terlouw

How I will miss my Aunt Estella! I always knew that when I was having a tough time, she was there to hold me up. Her smile, her laugh, but most of all her heart.

We remember each and every Sinday when Tytus would run into the arms of Estella with a smile on his face and her eyes would light up like a bright angel. We will forever keep that in our thoughts. God bless to all of the family and you will all be in our prayers throughout this time.

Fond memories of spending time at the brick farmhouse south of Newton, and one very special hayride and bonfire.. maybe around 1960? More memories from the house in Newton. Stella was always kind and welcoming, with a smile and hug for me. She lived her 84 years of life with love and grace. I know Steve and others are happy to have her with them, but also know that many will miss her presence here. A heartfelt hug and kiss for her wonderful family.

So sorry to hear of Stella's passing - I didn't read about it until it was too late to attend the service. She always had a smile on her face and was always so kind - especially when my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimers. She'll be missed.
